The property was to be a non smoking room, it smelled like weed had been smoked in there. The sheets where not clean, visible hairs and stuff - facial oils for n pillow cases. There was no mattress pad and the sheets looked as if someone had been sleeping in them already. The chair to the desk was definitely not new or looked new. The fabric was missing and the floors were not hard woods as claimed. The pictures don’t reflect what the rooms are like! Don’t be fooled! We were not the only ones complaining. When we arrived, a gentleman was there on his third room, this already threw red flags.

The room was horrible; it was to be non-smoking but we couldn't breathe for the stale smoke in the room. The bed sheets were not clean. The bed spread was full of cigarette burns, the only amenity was a small pack of tissues. There was a hole in the water closet door, the tub had hair in it. We had to get management to get smoke detector. Management had to twice call someone to electronically unlock our door so we could get in. There was no remote for the TV. I was scared to sleep there. We ended up checking out the next morning cutting short our stay. The clerk who checked us out said there would be no charge and the $50 deposit was to be refunded too. As of today, Monday 7/26 we do not show a refund on our credit card.

Staff very friendly, facilities needs lots of work, especially in the bedding dept. Mattresses are like our fold out couch at our trailer. Could feel the springs. Flat pillows. Had "0" towels. Was able to get some though.
